I'll explain the joke

A gross is 144 of something, beyond gross is more then 144.

239 beans is more then a gross of beans but less then too (two) gross of beans.

This joke is beyond gross, yet not too gross.

This is funny because it uses two different meanings of gross to subvert a readers initial expectations in a delightful way. This is often considered humor. Dad humor.
